Il Douché and His Discontents: The 2016 Primary Voting Thread, Part 4

"HEY I am also a smug dick about my own country's politics too! Not just on this thread!"

@pareene
An irony of Sanders' success with whites is that he is the opposite of what Democratic Party elites said they need to be to win back whites

"Race back to the middle" they said.

I'm not gonna run away and pretend something striking and unexpexted didn't happen. But what I've been saying all along is still right.

so...you'd like to point out that you've been otm on this thread?

@dick_nixon
I would like to reiterate at this point what a dumb son of a bitch Mitt Romney is. I think the events of the night warrant it.

morbs are dennis perrin and dick nixon the only people you follow on twitter

i don't follow anyone

Yeah, surprisingly enough, I have. Luckily for me I didn't try any predictions about Michigan, other than saying he wouldn't make up his delegate deficit there. Which turned out to be technically tom (though of course not what's important)

LOL Sanders has a two hundred+ delegate deficit obv he's not going to make up his deficit with one state that only has 120 something pledged delegates. That's some serious OTMing there, Fred. What wondrous and surprising predictions will you make next?

Got dammit, you're dumb.

He needed to win Michigan by a lot more than he did to begin making up the deficit. There, is that spelled out enough for you?

It's not an insightful point however you try to spin it.

Did I claim it to be?

Not that you appear to have ever made an insightful point on this thread (or any US politics one) which you mostly fill with vapid and obvious political predictions and defensiveness.

You appear to be patting yourself on the back on some sort of master of US political knowledge and prognostication all the time! If that was all meant to be humor, CONGRATS your dry Dane wit appears to have snookered all of us.

Yeah, that's not true. Go back and read. But then again, who cares, you're not trustworthy. You've shown yourself over and over to be a liar, and nobody believes what you're saying.

Fantastic Donald Trump imitation! Now tells us about your hands!

your dry Dane wit appears to have snookered all of us.

Snøkered all of us, I think you mean

dnftD

Frederik I'm not going to subject myself to re-reading your old idiotic posts. It's bad enough that I'll have to keep reading your new ones ("Why can't I quit you election threads??!?!")

Alex, you deserve nothing better than a Trumpian response. And if you don't get the difference between a presidential debate and an internet feud, then you're as dumb as I expect you to be.

Do stop reading my posts, why on earth would you keep on doing that? I never in a million years thought you'd be able to gain anything from them.

I don't like you, I consider you a worthless troll, I get nothing out of writing with you. Ignore me, and I'll be more than happy to ignore you. Deal?

He's not smug if you read the posts in the original Danish

This is like Usenet circa '96.

PS. Bob Dole has no chance.

I'm learning so much. Did you know the Danes love hot dogs? I did not!

My ex's sister and her gf who live in Copenhagen kept saying that Danes are kinda arrogant and even ruder than Finns, I guess Frederik isn't doing much in this thread to dispel that stereotype... :(

Danes do love their meat, when I've been there there were hot dog ads everywhere! Not the best country for a vegetarian traveller.

all the #narrative about hillary being shaken by stunning upset is a little much considering she won 86 delegates last night while bernie won 69

"I never in a million years thought you'd be able to gain anything from them."

NO ONE IS GAINING ANYTHING FROM THEM!

Please stop. Please?

plz guys let's just have a singalong

Well, the "Dewey Defeats Truman" polling/results gap would kinda be newsworthy no matter what; it IS a stunning upset, particularly if it's a bellwether for other states with similar polling. I dont think it reshapes the race in one stroke or anything, but I could buy mildly shaken, Clinton-wise.

agreed re: usenet 96

BREAKING NEWS:

Report: George W. Bush Will Not Make Another Primary Endorsement

Supposedly the worst polling in recorded primary history for MI. I think I saw that the second worst in like 88 or something (sorry id look up details but on my phone) was by +17 and this was like +24 or something?

Might be a good time for a new thread. Anyone? I can't think of any clever titles.

I mean what happened in MI was the worst in recorded primary history period in any state. Xp

Any theories as to why, Mordy?

Is it the elusive young uns?

it's possible the polls did not account for independents properly. Sanders won strongly with independents, Clinton won with democrats.

Open primaries, black voters broke more favorable towards Bernie than the model had shown in the south, iirc it is a no cell phone state for polling, generally unfamiliar political terrain this year (which is maybe a better explanation for failings on the R side). I'm sure if he hasn't yet Nate will be explaining himself shortly. Xp

I heard he likes "red."

Grazie

i don't even know how they are going to do polling in another 5 years

(Xp)

It seems like Hillary's team is better at this than conventional pollsters. They knew the polls were not representative (probably bc their internal polling was much different).
